“Charles Linton built an extension for us 4 years ago. We noticed a minor issue with the roof, called Charles Linton this morning and they had someone come and fix it this afternoon. Couldn’t ask for more from a building firm. We were extremely happy with these guys throughout the build and even more impressed now. Would definitely recommend.”

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 10 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Charles Linton completed a substantial extension to our property. Their communications onsite and administration both verbal/written were clear and informative from start to finish. The work appears to have been completed to a high standard and we are very pleased with the finish overall. Many members of the public have commented on the excellent brickwork as they walk by! We were impressed with how tidy the work area was throughout the project and how efficiently the different tradesmen on site worked. There have been no issues with aftercare. Extremely reliable and trustworthy, would highly recommend.”
“Fantastic work by Dan and all his team, they made the whole process stress free and a great bunch of guys to have around! Kept to budget and timescales and kept us updated with every stage of the build. Would highly recommend Charles Linton to anyone considering any building work!”

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
